The judges of The X Factor USA have been given their categories for the remainder of the competition, and it looks like Demi Lovato could have the winner.

The popular mentor, who is into her second year on the talent show panel, has been given the Girls category to look after for the remainder of the competition - giving her a strong chance of topping her performance in 2012, when she was the first judge to lose all of her acts.

She has several popular hopefuls in her category, most noteably Rion Page, who has by far had the most YouTube hits of any artist this season. Her first audition has had over 8 million hits in the last two weeks - significantly more than anyone else.

Kelly Rowland reacted positively to being given the Over 25s to see through the contest, after that group yielded the 2012 winner in Tate Stevens. Paulina Rubio has been charged with the Boys, and Simon Cowell has the Groups for the second year running.

Paulina yelled: "I love you guys!" as she greeted her hopefuls.

Kelly vowed: "I definitely have the winner in this category. I'm so excited!"

Demi warned: "The other judges definitely need to watch out because my category is so strong."

Simon, meanwhile, bragged: "I got this real wave of excitement... I like these groups. I'm gonna win it this year."
